The'Enzmann 506' was seen for the first time at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 1957. It may not have been in Frankfurt in 1959, but it still exists - more mature and sophisticated than ever before.

The reviewer may be forgiven for using the plural, but this two-seater car with its sportily tailored plastic bodywork is the result of the teamwork of a family gathered around father Enzmann, the scion of an old Swiss hotelier family and a passionate driver for decades. Experience and enthusiasm have formed a particularly happy combination in the Enzmann 506: one son is a doctor, the second a physicist, the third an experienced automotive technician, the fourth looks after the kitchen and cellar of the stately country inn 'Goldener Adler' in Schüpfheim, while the fifth is studying and the sixth son is currently in the USA.
